One family reunion, cousin Joe's baptism, cousin David's farewell, staying in Santa Fe, battery dying in Amarillo, staying in Childress(literally the middle of no where), driving past at least ten towns that look exactly like Dillon, Texas (from Friday Night Lights), dairy queen ice cream, nasty enchiladas with nacho cheese on them, staying in Dallas with cousin Jackie and Anson, dealing with 115 degree weather...We finally made it to HOUSTON!!!!!!
Only to find...
110 degree weather with 90% humidity(locals say its been the hottest they have ever encountered), Parque Del Oro(our apt complex, a huge city that is very diverse (Peter and I, both being blonde and white, stick out like a sour thumb in most places), Blue Bell ice cream(seriously the very best but I am sure it is the most fattening ice-cream out there), confusing roads (I think we would literally be dead if we did not have a GPS), flat land (the buildings tell me what direction I am going rather than the mountains), good friends(there are twelve first year med students from BYU at UT), The Houston Texans stadium(just a few blocks away), HEB grocery store(it is amazing), and much more to come.
so happy you are updating this blog now! Excited to hear about all of your adventures in texas!
